The Seas pavilion, including the “Finding Nemo” ride, will return to regular operating hours later this month.
The Seas Hours
For the past four months, The Seas with Nemo & Friends and the attached aquarium have closed at 7 p.m. to accommodate refurbishment work inside the pavilion. According to the Walt Disney World website, the pavilion will resume operating until park close on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. Park close is usually 9 p.m.
The Seas Pavilion includes the ride The Seas with Nemo & Friends, Bruce’s Shark World play area, Turtle Talk with Crush show, SeaBase Aquarium, and SeaBase Gift Shop. The final Turtle Talk with Crush show of the day starts 20 minutes before the pavilion closes.
The construction inside The Seas appears to have been general maintenance work and signage updates. This refurbishment follows various updates to The Seas over the past few years. In 2024, new “Finding Nemo” decorations were added to the gift shop. In late 2023, crews repainted the pavilion’s facade, plus refreshed character decorations and upgraded the exterior lighting. Around the same time, Disney restored an underwater effect to the aquarium area.
The Seas’ scuba-diving experience, DiveQuest, returned this month after a six-month hiatus.
